An integrative bioethics approach to digital online communication

Since the 17th century science fought for a primacy in the value of the knowledge it produces and has enjoyed a privileged status. However, the public nature of science is changing and the need for orientation in the complex world of scientific and technological advances is becoming more apparent. Focused on preserving control and understanding of their conditions of life, the public challenges the scientist’s answer to contemporary scientific problems and questions. The democratic nature of digital online communication provides a means for expression and exploration of all kinds of beliefs and has allowed for creation of sites of their convergence, but access to information and knowledge are not enough to alleviate risks stemming from the lack of dialogic interaction of different perspectives on a particular issue. This becomes particularly problematic in the domain of ethics when decisions based on objectified beliefs impact the preservation of life and ways of living. This presentation will debate how methodological approaches in integrative bioethics may provide a necessary basis for dialogic interaction which integratively preserves the pluralism of perspectives which add complexity to the understanding of bioethical dilemmas.
